Overview
- Sag Harbor Police distributed an edited body‑camera video to news outlets after media sought the footage through Freedom of Information requests.
- Justin Timberlake had sued to block publication, calling the recording highly private, before both sides reached a deal approved by interim Judge Joseph Farneti.
- The video shows roadside sobriety tests in which Timberlake struggles to follow instructions, apologizes, says his heart is racing, and notes he is on a world tour.
- Footage also documents his refusal to take a breath test and the subsequent arrest following an initial stop for allegedly running a stop sign and drifting from his lane.
- The criminal case was resolved in September 2024 with a guilty plea to a misdemeanor, a fine, 25 hours of community service, and a required public‑safety announcement, with no new charges tied to the video release.
